Michael Nielsen’s Summary

I’m writing a book entitled "The Future of Science". I believe the way scientists collaborate and communicate will change radically over the next 5-20 years. This book is my attempt to chart out how this change will occur.

I was trained as a physicist and mathematician, and have also worked in computer science. I've written approximately 60 research papers, as well as several popular articles. Together with Ike Chuang, I wrote what has become the standard text on quantum computation and quantum information.
